After a woman undergoes an abortion, if placental residue is found in the uterine cavity during examination, in order to avoid affecting the recovery of the woman's body and uterus, as well as preventing intrauterine infections, it is necessary to undergo a curettage surgery as soon as possible. However, many women are not sure how the curettage surgery is performed. Some women want to know how to perform a placental residue curettage surgery?
Before a woman undergoes a curettage surgery, she first needs to empty her bladder and adopt a lithotomy position. Then, the doctor will disinfect the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, and other parts of the woman, and lay sterile drapes. After the disinfection work is completed, the doctor will use vaginal ultrasound to determine the position of the uterus and use cervical forceps to clamp the cervix to determine the depth of the uterine cavity. Once the condition of the uterus is confirmed, she can prepare for the curettage surgery.
At this time, the doctor will use a cervical dilator to dilate the female cervical canal until it can pass through the uterine cavity suction device. Then, under no negative pressure, the uterine cavity suction device will be inserted into the uterine cavity, maintaining negative pressure for repeated scraping and suction. The entire process needs to be gentle to avoid damaging the endometrium. If tissue blocks the suction head during suction, the tissue should be quickly removed before continuing suction. If there are no suction conditions, a curette can be used to clear the uterus.
Note that the entire curettage surgery must be performed under sterile conditions, and the equipment used must also be strictly disinfected, otherwise it is easy to cause postoperative infections, which is not conducive to the recovery of women's bodies and the restoration of the uterus to normal. If women are concerned about pain during the curettage surgery, intravenous anesthesia can be administered before the surgery to allow them to undergo the surgery while sleeping.
